The current Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers are known for their fast speed in making movies, not to mention the small production zuò such as "Beihai Shuangxian Opera Oolong", which filmed all the shots in less than half a month. But after all, Chen Yongren has just entered the industry, and the later work is still completed by He Min, and Chen Yongren doesn't care about these, and he has to eat one bite at a time; After a period of work, he has a preliminary understanding of the production and shooting of films, and it also takes a while to digest, and he has to squeeze in time to learn professional knowledge on his own, his goal is to be a director and producer, and there is no need to waste time and fight for any name.

Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng were ready to take him to play in Taiwan before returning to Hong Kong, but Chen Yongren refused after some struggle, the reason is very simple, he has no money, the previous "Chen Yongren" has not earned any money, and his pocket has long been empty; I worked as an assistant field reporter in Taiwan for two weeks, and his salary was only 800 Hong Kong dollars, which still depends on his hard work and Jiang Sheng's face, his assistant field reporter was originally redundant, and the money on his body was not enough to toss, and he didn't like to owe favors, so the three of them returned to Hong Kong the next day after the finale.

After getting off the plane, Jiang Sheng instructed Chen Yongren to rest at home for a few days and wait for him to call to make other arrangements; The latter nodded yes, he had hardly relaxed for half a month, except for work and sleeping, and he had a new plan in his heart, which he had to put into action; The three of them then parted ways and went their separate ways.

When Chen Yongren returned home, he saw that the house was empty, Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't know where to go, he was wondering, but he heard the voice of his mother Shi Xiuzhu from behind, and turned around to be Chen's father and Chen's mother, Chen's mother was very happy, and asked him long and short, Chen Yongren was very happy that there was a mother at home who cared about him very much, and the negative feelings he had when he first arrived in Taiwan finally dissipated a little.

"Why did you two go? Only going home now? Chen Yongren expressed his doubts.

Chen's mother spoke: "Didn't your father and I always think about opening a ready-to-wear shop some time ago? The day before yesterday I started to do it, the façade is very close to home, in Tin Shui Wai, many neighbors there are former acquaintances, all help us to get business, I remember you said that you went home today, it is estimated that it is also this point, so I got off work early! ”。 After Shi Xiuzhu finished speaking, she saw Chen Yongren's unnatural face, which was strange and concerned: "Ah Ren, what's wrong?" ”。

Chen Yongren was silent for a moment, and said very solemnly to his parents: "Don't worry, at most, in half a year, you can enjoy Qingfu at home." ”。

Chen Qitai and his wife looked at each other, puzzled, and Chen's mother was very worried: "Ah Ren, are you okay?" ”。

"It's fine, I just think ...... You are all nearly half a hundred years old and you have to work so hard, and you feel very uncomfortable. ”。

The couple was silent for a while, and Chen Qitai said: "You just got off the plane, you should be hungry, we haven't eaten, let's go in first, you have a good rest after eating, it's okay, take your time, we believe in you!" ”。

After the family of three had lunch, Chen's father and Chen's mother went to Tin Shui Wai again, Chen Yongren returned to the room, sat at the desk, took out a pen and paper, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, and wrote two words on the letter paper - "curse".

Chen Yongren has little interest in Japanese cultural studies, but as a senior reading lover and film lover, he still watched some classic Japanese literature and film and television works, such as Yoshikawa Eiji's "Miyamoto Musashi", Yamaoka Shohachi's "The Legend of Japan's Warring States Heroes" series, and several historical novels by Sima Ryotaro It is also known as a must-read work for successful people, and its status in Japan is equivalent to China's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Curse" is a horror novel released by Japanese novelist Kei Oishi in 2003, in fact, there are many works of the same level as this novel, and they are all stored in the zài that Chen Yongren is not interested in, but this novel created a legend, and it was adapted into a movie by the famous Japanese director Shimizu Chong and became a sensation! . "The Grudge" is a representative of the horror ghost film in the background of oriental culture, the global box office of the movie is nearly 200 million US dollars, and later the same as "Midnight Bell" was remade by Hollywood, the two are called "Japanese horror" classic masterpieces, and even "The Grudge" was once famous above "Midnight Bell", known as "the world's first horror film".

As a result, almost all the promotional advertisements and items in the film "Curse" that caused a wave of horror in Japan were banned from being published or refused to be published by the local electrical inspection office, TV stations and other parties, because the content was too terrifying and the rumors scared the audience to death; It will cause extreme panic and uneasiness among the people, and the propaganda will be almost completely blocked. The poster of "The Grudge" was banned by the local subway company. Some of the TV commercials for "The Grudge" were banned by TVB, and the rest had to be broadcast after 11:30 p.m. The full trailer of "The Grudge" was banned in the lobby of Hong Kong cinemas, and only a very small number of clips could be broadcast. Bus advertisements and minibus advertisements for "The Grudge" were also completely banned.

If people go to watch this movie again, they must be inexplicable, because like "Midnight Bell", it has been re-edited and processed at the request of the Japanese government; So there are two sides to everything, although some people are unlucky, but they are also lucky, Chen Yongren is, unfortunately he spent a lot of time reading novels, watching movies and so much that he failed in his studies, fortunately he knows a lot more than ordinary people, and he has seen many out-of-print movies.

He just put the background of the original book in Hong Kong, and the names of the characters were simply changed, Tsuyoshi Saeki was replaced by Zuo Gang, Toshio Saeki was replaced by Zuo Jun, Jia Coconut was replaced by Ye Jia, Kobayashi Shunsuke, Chen Yongren was changed to Lin Junjie in a bad taste, Manami Midorikawa was changed to Lu Zhen, and Kyoko Harase was changed to Yuan Shujun; There are also some details, such as the traditional Japanese perception, you can see the truth through the fingers, while in Chinese folklore, there is a saying that ghosts can be seen by bending down between the legs in a stream or lake or in a gloomy place; Chen Yongren just carefully revised the original novel and completely localized.

"Ah Ren, get up quickly, it's time to eat...... Chen Yongren opened his eyes when he heard the voice of his mother Shi Xiuzhu in a trance, got up suddenly, and found himself on the bed in the bedroom......

Turning his head to see a table of food, Chen Yongren felt a burst of hunger, sat down at the table, and asked while eating, "Dad, Mom, what time did you come back yesterday?" Why don't I have any memories of going home? ”。

Mother Chen put down the chopsticks she had just picked up, and "blamed": "What do you still say, I came home with your dad last night, and I saw you sleeping on the table I don't know how deep, your dad and I were already tired, and it took a long time to get you to bed!" Then he said with concern: "Ah Ren, don't make yourself so tired, you have to take your time in everything." ”。

Chen Yongren then remembered yesterday's incident, he was writing a novel in his room after lunch, but he didn't know when he fell asleep because he was too tired. He reacted and hurriedly rushed back to the house, and was relieved to see the manuscript on the table, flipped through it, and wrote two chapters yesterday, and only half of the third chapter "Xiaolin" was written, he returned to the dining table and said, "I'll go out in a while, you can eat by yourself at noon, don't wait for me." ”。

"What are you going for?" Chen's mother asked strangely, and then asked: "You just came back from work in Taiwan, and you don't take a few days off?" ”。

Chen Yongren shook his head and said, "I'm not going to work, I have some other personal matters!" ”。

"Private?" Father Chen said: "You haven't been in touch with your former classmates and friends for a long time, right?" Where did the private matter come from? ”。

Chen Yongren was stunned when he heard this, and when he thought about it carefully, the previous "Chen Yongren" really had no close friends, he was an ordinary ordinary person, with an ordinary family, ordinary skills, and even interpersonal relationships.

"It's good!" Chen Yongren said to himself: "It's troublesome to have close friends, and I don't know each other, so it's hard to arouse suspicion after a long time." ”。

But I heard Chen's mother say at this time: "That's right, Ah Ren, you should go out and get along with more friends." The father and son of the Chen family felt strange, and only heard Chen's mother continue: "It's best to be a girlfriend!" ”。

Chen Yongren was speechless, so he had to bury his head in eating, blocking his mother's nagging.
